Pollock or pollack[1] (pronounced /ˈpɒlək/) is the common name used for either of the two species of North Atlantic marine fish in the genus Pollachius. Pollachius pollachius is referred to as "pollock" in North America, Ireland and the United Kingdom, while Pollachius virens is usually known as saithe or coley in Great Britain and Ireland (derived from the older name coalfish).[2] Other names for P. pollachius include the Atlantic pollock, European pollock, lieu jaune, and lythe or lithe;[3] while P. virens is also known as Boston blue (distinct from bluefish), silver bill, or saithe.
